Blood for transfusions is running especially short just now
and my local blood bank is on me to donate. (But I just
donated in late May, so won't be eligible to give again until
late July.) If you, like me, are type O-negative, the universal
donor, and have not donated blood in a while, please think
about donating soon. You can learn the current basic
requirements for donating almost anywhere by going to:

It's October 2014 and type O-negative blood for transfusions is
desperately short in the San Francisco Bay Area, according to
Blood Centers of the Pacific, If you are O-negative, or know
someone who is, an immediate donation would be a very,
very charitable act.

Good idea and thank you for suggesting it. I've donated for years. I'm O-positive, not quite the universal donor but my blood is good enough for transplant patients and babies in ICU. It's important to donate. Thank you again, Wendy
